Sunspot!!

Sunspot!!

Postby Atombomb » Wed May 16, 2012 11:30 am

I have always loved the idea of Sunspot's powers.
So much that over the years I have played characters that resemble his powers, if not the character himself in other Marvel RPGs.

This is my very first build.
So please give me input to help me get better at this process.

I've also like Sunspot over the years. I'd like to do a campaign with the New Mutants.

Here's my take.

Sunspot

Affiliations Solo 6 Buddy 8 Team 10
I'd give him a higher buddy than solo only because he is always portrayed as Cannonball's best friend.

Distinctions
Billionaire Brazilian Playboy
Quick to Anger
Villainous Entanglements
Quick to Anger is the same as your Temperamental

Powers
Solar Powered
*Energy Blast 8
*Superhuman Durability 10
*Subsonic Flight 8
*Superhuman Stamina 10
*Superhuman Strength 10
SFX: Madre De Dios - Spend 1 PP to borrow the highest die in the Doom Pool as an asset for your next action, then step back and return the doom die.
SFX: Second Wind - Before you make an action including a Solar Powered power, you may move your physical stress die to the doom pool and step up the Solar Powered power by +1 for this action.
Limit: Mutant - Earn 1 PP when affected by mutant specific Milestones and tech.
Limit: Drained - Shutdown a Solar Powered power and gain 1 PP. Recover power by activating an opportunity or during a transition scene.
Limit: Careful Bobby, you're not invulnerable - Earn 1 PP and step up physical stress caused by any physical attack by +1
This is the same power set as Ms Marvel. I gave Sunspot Superhuman Strength because he is at least as strong as the Beast or Spider-Man and probably as strong as Ms. Marvel or Iron Man. I debated on whether to make his Durability Enhanced or Superhuman. I gave him Superhuman Durability because he is described as being bullet proof, just not invulnerable. I made "Careful Bobby, you're not invulnerable" a limit to his powers based on a similar limit the Thing had for Emotional Stress. I'm still not sure if I should have made it Enhanced Durability like you have. Madre De Dios is the same SFX as the Beast's Oh My Stars and Garters.

Specialties
Combat Expert
Business Expert
Acrobatic Expert
I took his business skill down to Expert level since I have the distinction of Billionaire Brazilian Playboy to represent his wealth. Also, since he was younger, I didn't want him to have any specialties above the Expert level. I gave him Acrobatic Expert because he is always portrayed as a superb Athlete.


My data file is pretty close to yours, maybe just a little bit more powerful. Let me know what you think.
